How to write a customer Service Resume

Posted by Nelson Resume on 2 Jan 2026

A successful customer service cover letter or resume (Curriculum Vitae) must highlight your relevant knowledge and experience. A well-written resume as well as a compelling cover letter, along with a professional LinkedIn profile, can make a big difference in getting a job. At Nelson Resume, we specialize in providing CV and resume writing services along with cover letter writing services and LinkedIn profile optimization to make get noticed by the other applicants. In this post, we’ll explain how to present customer service in a resume or CV, show how you can demonstrate your skills in customer service on a CV or resume and offer tips for writing about customer service capabilities.

How to describe customer service on an application or resume:

When describing your customer service experience, emphasize specific work duties and responsibilities. Use action verbs like "assisted," "resolved," or "responded," to describe your work. Include any relevant measures, such as customer satisfaction rates, to prove your effectiveness.

How do you display customer service abilities on a resume or CV:

As well as describing your experience, you need to identify specific abilities that are relevant to customer service, including communication and problem-solving abilities. Include any relevant certifications or training for example, a customer service class or a certificate in a specific customer service software.

What should I write about in regards to customer skill in customer service?

When you write about your customer service skills, focus on the most important and pertinent skills to the position you’re applying to. For example, if your job involves a lot of phone calls, then highlight your experiences and expertise in customer service via phone.

How do I record my experiences with my customers?

When writing about your experience with your customer service experience, you should use specific examples and quantify your achievements. For instance, instead telling the reader that you "Helped customers with their queries," say "Assisted an average of 50 clients per day with their questions, which resulted in a 95% customer satisfaction rating."

If you follow these guidelines that you will be able to craft your customer service resume CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile that highlights the relevant skills and experience you have and make you a good candidate for customer service positions. Be sure it is important to edit and proofread your resume your CV or cover letter prior to making it available for submission. Also, consider having professional assistance from Nelson Resume if you need assistance.
